25 for 25: Celebrating 25 Years of APFED

Honor the Past. Activate the Present. Shape the Future.

For 25 years, APFED has been a trusted voice for individuals and families affected by eosinophilic diseases—raising awareness, advancing education, research, advocacy, and community support.

To celebrate this milestone, we invite you to join the 25 for 25 Campaign—a year-long initiative that encourages our community to take meaningful action across five pillars, each designed to honor our history while building momentum for the future.

Your challenge:
Choose at least one activity from each pillar and make your own 25 for 25 commitment.

Do 25 • Share 25 • Give 25 • Inspire 25 • Thank 25

How the 25 for 25 Campaign Works

Participation is flexible, personal, and powerful.
You can take one action—or many—from each pillar. Every action, no matter the size, helps strengthen the eosinophilic disease community.

Pick your 25. Share your journey. Inspire others to join.
